How does the Community and Education Traditionally Partner? Fundraising/ Bonds Private/ Public Partnerships (PPP’s) Education Community Economic Development & Workforce Needs
Economic Development Needs: Education has a direct relationship to the local Economy • Academic Performance Index (API) = home value • Zillow • Trulia • Good schools are a strong “attractors” for employers: A “paradigm shift” has occurred in which young families determine the their employment opportunities beginning with value, education and the culture of a region, first
Workforce Development Needs: good Workforce demands good education • Not all students will be college-bound; many enter the workforce immediately following secondary school and require specific job skills/ training • Some college-bound students may not return to a region following post secondary education due to varying factors: - lack of job opportunities in that region - stronger experiences developed in other regions - no connection made to businesses in primary or secondary education…
What will Future Workforce needs look like?: 3 Goals: - Encourage innovation, new business creation, capital formation and the scaling up of key industry sectors in our region, and through enhanced trade, link us to the outside world - Remove unnecessary impediments that slow business investment and job creation • Ensure our regional workforce acquires the education and skills needed for the jobs that will be in demand in the Next Economy
What will Future Workforce needs look like?: The Capital Region: Education needs to capture these Industries!
Career Technical Education (CTE): additional offerings? • Current CTE Examples: - Future CTE Offerings?: • Culinary Arts - Health Care Technology • Automotive Technology - Educational Services • Engineering Technology - Aerospace Industries • Construction Technology - Renewable Energy • Performing and Visual Arts - Alternative Transportation • Agriculture - Financial Investment Services Add?
What might the future “class”look like? - It must resemble the career as close as possible… • Some things will always hold true: • good day lighting • good acoustics • comfort/ control • access to “tools” • cost effective • DSA approvable
What else isthere besides Economic Development? Grant Union High School Criminal Justice Academy Sacramento, CA - multiple community law enforcement/ military partners - highest proportion of college entry than any other academy on campus - teaches personal ethics/ morality/ humility
